We are all aware of the devastation left by Typhoons Pedring and Quiel. And I'm sure most of you guys would like to help our fellow Filipinos who have been badly affected by these two typhoons. To those who are unaware of how to help but would like to help, I've compiled some information on how you can help by donating or volunteering via HABITAT FOR HUMANITY and WORLD VISION. Feel free to spread this with your friends, schoolmates, officemates!!

For cash donations, you can deposit to BPI Checking acct # 2421-0014-67. Acct name Habitat for Humanity Philippines Foundation Inc. or send to the office as well. Official receipts will be issued.

Some of us here in Metro Manila may not be aware of the magnitude of the damage caused by these typhoons. I've posted some photos to show how terrible the situation is. Help is badly needed!! Each tiny donation can certainly make a difference! Let's start with ourselves!

S.O.S. Save Our Santa. Please help those who were badly affected in Santa, Ilocos Sur which is located on the coastal front. Every typhoon season, the coastal barangays are battered by the devastating typhoons. This season alone, they have had to suffer Mina, Pedring and Quiel. Two of the barangays, Pasungol and Bucalag are fast disappearing from the map with families having lost their homes and the only seawall that was protecting them from the rising sea level. Our town Santa is quite prone to flooding due to three elements: The bulging Abra River, the torrent of rain flood that flows down from the mountain and the sea it self. Our town people would very much appreciate any help you can give- whether it be shelter kits, supplies to those who have lost their homes or even advice and direction on how to get other, more relevant help and advice with regards to protecting and preserving our foreshore/seafront. If you could, please contact our mayor Mr Jeremy Bueno; Santa, Ilocos Sur. Thank you for your kind attention.
